In order to infect 10,000 million systems in the period of life 65 million years we would have to on average pass within 15 light years of 153 new stars each and every year.

And that is averaging the size of the bio-disc. In reality for the first third of the period of life star systems would have to be so close to meet that average that we would very likely have been caught with another star to form a binary system.

Oh? Then what keeps them from falling on us? Granted, some do.

Of course not! They're towed to a "star repair shop."
